Wonder-Filled Weddings My Life As A Planner

Surely there are enough wedding planning planning books and websites out there....aren't there? Lots to be sure, but none like this one. "Wonder-Filled Weddings" is the perfect combination of inspiration and instruction. Most other sources are either filled with zillon dollar images (that the majority cannot afford) or so many DIY ideas that busy brides have neither time or interest in reproducing. Presenting, as he has for years, to engaged couples and their parents, Michael J. Nolte, weaves the stories of his professional life into the tapestry of celebrations for which he is lovingly remembered. His insight into the psychology of wedding planning is sometimes more about the emotional/mental preparation as it is the logistical sequence of events-therein lies the difference between this resource and all the others. Nolte "gets" the jumble of challenges that beset a bride when faced with over bearing in-laws, diva bridesmaids, high dollar dreams and low dollar budgets. He is known in Kansas City as the wedding planner extraordinaire because of his personal interest in each of the families (not just the "weddings") for which he is hired. In the course of over three decades in the industry, he has made by his own admission "every mistake twice" and now confidently can assure nervous clients, "Nothing will go wrong." And it doesn't. How does he pull of flawless wedding after flawless wedding? Experience, experience, experience. There is no substitute. From his days as a budding florist (pun intended) to his present profile of designing one-of-a-kind breathtaking bridal gowns, Nolte has the breath of exposure to all the facets of wedding coordination that no other Wedding Planner can offer. Referencing his early years as a photographer, he tells brides, "I will always imagine your wedding in terms of finished pictures." Creating that total vision is his greatest joy. Reading about how he does it, will be yours.
